The Ultimate SpotVault, How I Met Your Mother

The Ultimate SpotVault is a fully sortable record of every single episode in the history of a veteran series. This allows you to compare both raw numbers (total viewership and adults 18-49 rating) as well as the historical-adjusted stat A18-49+ for episodes across different seasons. This table also has the lead-in's A18-49+ for each episode, so you can see which episodes had the most and least support.

Just click any category name at the top to sort, and hold SHIFT and click another to sort by the second category within the first. (For example, click '#' and SHIFT-click 'A18-49+' to arrange all season premieres by A18-49+.)

See the bottom of this page for a few additional pointers and explanations.

A few pointers for these tables:

1. 'Tot#' refers to the episode number in the entire history of the series. For now, double-length episodes with only one rating count just once in this number, but we may be able to change that in the future. '#' is the episode number within just its season. Season finales are always given a # of 99, which allows all finales to be more easily sorted together. Whenever there's a 99, though, you can hover over that number 99 to see what the actual season episode number is.

2. Hover over any lead-in number to see the name of the lead-in program!

3. As in the SpotVault proper, 'Lead' generally refers to the rating in just the last half-hour, providing a better picture of who was watching immediately before the show started. However, those breakdowns are not always available. In those situations the 'Lead' will be in italics, meaning 'Lead-in' refers to the entire program and not just the last half-hour. The general rule is that breakdowns are not available for the entire 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2015-16 seasons, plus a handful of weeks in other seasons (mostly holiday/summer weeks).
